Clears illness Friday Bamba (illness) is an option for Friday's clash against Lorient, the club announced.

Impact Bamba has been dealing with an illness this week and could clear it before Friday's clash against Lorient. This is great news for Monaco since he will be an additional option to the squad that has been thin due to numerous injuries. That said, Bamba should remain a bench option at best moving forward.

Signs new contract Bamba (hamstring) has signed a new contract with Monaco until the end of the 2029/30 season, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Bamba, who could be in line to return against Angers this weekend after the international break after missing the team's last three games, has started in three of his five appearances this season. He's seen as a top prospect, so Monaco have made the right call in locking him up for the foreseeable future.

Could return against Angers Bamba (hamstring) is progressing well and working hard in his recovery during the break and could return against Angers after the break, according to Vivien Seiller from Nice Matin...

Impact Bamba missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury but is reportedly making good progress during the international break, working hard on his comeback while the rest of the squad is on days off. This is positive news for the midfielder, who could return against Angers, and given the numerous injuries in midfield, his recovery would be a big boost for Monaco. That said, reports suggest that coach Adi Hutter could be sacked soon, so Bamba's status will have to be reassessed under a potential new coach moving forward.

Suffers hamstring injury Bamba was forced off in the first half of Sunday's 5-2 victory against Metz due to a hamstring injury, coach Adi Hutter confirmed in a press conference.

Impact Bamba suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's clash against the Grenats and was replaced by Krepin Diatta in the 33rd minute of the game. The midfielder is still discovering the senior level and that injury shows he needs more time to adapt. That said, Monaco is extremely short in depth in the midfield with Denis Zakaria (groin) out for two months, Aleksandr Golovin (hamstring) sidelined until the next international break and Paul Pogba still not fully fit to feature, meaning Jordan Teze will likely play alongside Lamine Camara in upcoming fixtures while Vanderson or Diatta will share minutes at right-back.

Off after 33 minutes Bamba was forced off the field in the 33rd minute of Sunday's match against Metz due to an apparent injury.

Impact Bamba didn't last that long Sunday after he earned a third straight start, with the midfielder coming off just 33 minutes into the game. That said, this will be something to monitor after he has been a starter as of recent. He we replaced by Krepin Diatta, with Stanis Idumbo Muzambo as a more likely replacement if Bamba remains sidelined.
